Why is it important to be efficient at home for a robot? If you have an industrial robot churning out parts 24/7 in a factory shaving of 3 sec on a 30 sec process is very valuable. But does it really matter if the robot folds your laundry in 3 min or 5 min? Probably not unless you are running a dry cleaner business.

Well, difference between 3 and 4 hours meanwhile might be important if robot is noisy.

For me doing the dishes is a 10-15 minute chore in the sink with some hot water but most people don't seem to object that their dishwasher takes 3 hours to do the same job with superheated steam or whatever. It still saves them the 15 minutes.

Don't forget that the dishwasher also uses less water and the dishes get sterilized by the steam.These features may or may not be important for a particular user.
